§ SIR A. ROLLIT (Islington, S.)I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any, and what, progress has been made with a view to the settlement of the claim of the owners of the ship Mary, of St. John's, Newfoundland, against the French Government; and what is the present position of the matter and the prospect of an arrangement?
§ * SIR E. GREYI regret to say that in the existing state of the negotiation on questions connected with the Newfoundland Fisheries, and in view of the attitude of the Colonial Government with reference to certain analogous claims of French citizens, it is not possible to make progress with the claim of the owners of the Mary at present.
